Welcome!

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. My research uses lab experiments and game theory to study behavior in groups. In particular, I am interested in how individuals choose partners and how groups coordinate their actions. 


I am also a Board Member at the Healthcare and Municipal Employees’ Credit Union (HMECU) in Hamilton, Ontario. I am currently Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and a member of the Nominating and Honoraria Committees.
